A while back #edchat was honored to have Alfie Kohn as a guest moderator. The response was so overwhelming that #edchat was actually a Top 5 trending topic topic on Twitter that night.

#edchat and the Educators PLN Ning have teamed up to once again bring a live conversation with Alfie Kohn, this time in the Edublogs Elluminate room where he will answer your questions. How do you get your question answered? Simple. Head over to the EDU PLN Ning, join, if you aren't already a member and post your question. While we wish we could ask every question we will only have Mr. Kohn for an hour but we will try to ask as many questions as possible. We will also post the link to the live session on the Ning and the archives after it is complete.

Want to know more about Alfie Kohn before you join the conversation? First, visit his website. There you can read much more about him and read sample chapters from his books. Then you can watch the video below from his appearance on the CBS Early Morning Show where Mr. Kohn talks about one of his favorite subjects, homework.

In this book, geared towards School and District Leaders, you'll learn about some of the most popular web tools used in schools but through a leadership lens. Understand how to be a more effective communicator and collaborator and boost productivity, at the same time understanding the need for school and district leaders be models of effective technology use.

Written with my good friend Tom Whitby, the book not only lays out the simple tools educators can use to get connected but why it's important to use these tools for professional learning, engaging classrooms and more! Filled with our own stories it's an easy read for any educator!
